How to make an update post

To record a weight update, simply make a new post on /r/BTFC with the word "Update" and your new weight with the unit included (e.g. "175 lbs" or "96kg" ) in the title. Please note that empty update posts are not allowed and will be removed.

Pfew, one week down! Bulking has turned out harder than I anticipated. Obviously I knew it wouldn't be a walk in the park, but I didn't expect to have such a hard time eating enough. I started on protein powder, because there was just no way I was going to be able to consistently eat enough protein. I also got some creatine, because why not? As a vegetarian, it might really help me.

Working out didn't work out (haha) as planned either. After my first work out I was incredibly sore for THREE WHOLE DAYS! This led to me skipping one of my work outs. So I only worked out twice this week instead of 3 times. I do think I made the right call, because with muscles that sore I don't think I would have done a very efficient work out, and half reps are just no good to anyone. On my second work out, I was able to do more reps than on the first one, so that was a big confidence boost for me.

Even though things are harder than I had hoped, I'm still very motivated to do this. Hopefully next week will be better.

Thanks for keeping us updated on your progress. I have made a note of your

This is a friendly reminder that your BTFC 10

you make your post well in advance of your deadline, so that you have time to correct
any errors that the mods find.
